Add -18x to both sides

Add 10 to both sides

Divide by 6

 24x - 10 = 18x -  4

Get rid of the - 10 on the left with + 10 on both sides:

 24x - 10 = 18x -  4
     + 10       + 10
 24x      = 18x +  6

Get rid of the 18x on the right with -10x on both sides:

 24x - 10 = 18x -  4
     + 10       + 10
 24x      = 18x +  6
-18x       -18x    
  6x      =        6

Get rid of the 6 on the left by dividing both sides by 6

 24x - 10 = 18x - 4
     + 10       + 10
 24x      = 18x + 6
-18x       -18x    
  6x      =       6
  6               6

Divide the 6's

 24x - 10 = 18x - 4
     + 10       + 10
 24x      = 18x + 6
-18x       -18x    
  6x      =       6
  6               6
   x      =       1
